[Rudaw] ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Five ISIS jacket wallahs blew themselves up after they were discovered and surrounded by Hashd al-Shaabi militias near Kirkuk,... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... according to an official.

During a massive raid launched by Hashd al-Shaabi to capture remnants of ISIS near Rashad town, southwest of Kirkuk, "a tunnel and a giant shelter of the forces of Evil were discovered. Five suicide bombers were inside the tunnel. They eventually detonated themselves after being surrounded," announced Ali Husseini, spokesperson of the Hashd on the Kirkuk front.

Husseini added their raids will continue to locate other remaining ISIS Death Eaters.

The Hashd al-Shaabi has been tasked with providing security outside of Kirkuk city since October 16.

Hope they killed some Hamasniks
[Yahoo] The Israeli military on Sunday said it has destroyed a tunnel built by the Hamas militant group that stretched from the Gaza Strip several hundred meters (yards) into Israeli territory, declaring a breakthrough in its war against underground threats from the Palestinian enclave.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, told reporters that Israel had used a new set of "tools" developed since a 2014 war with Hamas in order to destroy the tunnel. He said forces had detected the tunnel months ago and continued to monitor construction efforts by Hamas militants before demolishing it.

Israel has made neutralizing the tunnel threat a top priority since that war, when Hamas militants on several occasions made their way into Israel. Although they did not manage to reach civilian areas, the attacks caught Israel off guard and terrified the local population.

Conricus said a new system involving combat units, military intelligence, logistics and research had been used to destroy the tunnel. The system was first used to detect a tunnel that was destroyed on Oct. 30, but other aspects of the system were used this time around, he said.

"There seems to be a change, a paradigm here in how these terror tunnels will be able to threaten us in the future," he said. "It is by no means behind us, but this will surely force the terrorist organizations to change techniques and to adapt."

Hamas, the armed group that controls Gaza, declined to comment.

Conricus said the tunnel began in the central Gazan town of Khan Younis and stretched for over a kilometer (half a mile) across the border and into Israel. Although not complete, he said the tunnel was "very substantial," equipped with electricity, communications equipment and a ventilation system. It was located about a kilometer from an Israeli community.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the tunnels were an unacceptable threat and that Israel would invest "every resource" to stop them. "I hope that in the coming months the threat of tunnels on the residents surrounding Gaza will become a thing of the past," he said.

The army said the timing of the weekend operation was not connected to a flare-up of deadly violence that followed President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The decision has infuriated the Palestinians, who seek Israel-annexed east Jerusalem as their own capital.

[IsraelTimes] On Saturday, hundreds of Paleostinians took part in violent protests across the West Bank, in a substantial decrease from the thousands that rioted the day before over the decision last week by US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Some 600 Paleostinian demonstrators at 20 flashpoints in the West Bank threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at Israeli troops, and also set tires on fire and rolled them at soldiers, who responded with riot dispersal weapons such as tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets, the army said.

Six Paleostinians were enjuggedYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the West Bank, and six were lightly maimed in the festivities, the IDF added.

In East Jerusalem, Israeli police said at least 13 Paleostinians were arrested for throwing stones and other objects at officers during festivities. Police also said that four officers were lightly injured Saturday afternoon during separate festivities in the East Jerusalem Salah Ad Din neighborhood outside of the Old City. The officers were all transferred to nearby hospitals for treatment.

In the Gazoo Strip, approximately 450 Paleostinians gathered and protested at eight locations along the security fence with Israel on Saturday, the army said.

During the violent demonstration, one Paleostinian crossed the fence into Israel. He was arrested by Israeli troops and taken in for questioning, the army said. There as well, demonstrators threw rocks at troops. They also rolled burning tires at the fence itself.

The troops, coming from both the Israel Defense Forces and Border Police, responded mostly with riot dispersal weapons, but also used live rounds against "two of the main instigators, and hits were confirmed," the army said.

In northern Israel, three people were treated for light injuries after Arab protesters in the Wadi Ara area threw stones at an Egged bus traveling on Route 65 near the town of Ar’ara. The driver of the bus and two passengers received medical attention on site. Police said they arrested two people from the town for rioting.

In southern Israel too, some 100 people protested in the Bedouin town of Rahat. There were no reports of violence.

Al-Masdar was told by a military source in Damascus that these claims were just rumors and that the Syrian Army was not informed of this alleged defection.
